Lyubov Kalugina is facing hate speech charges for many blog posts. One of the milder jokes features a woman holding a frying pan with the caption: "Beat up a brute, save Russia!" In August, Kalugina told the broadcasting outlet, Radio Free Europe Radio Liberty, that she believed in "separating women from men at all levels".
Article 282 prohibits hate speech against any identifiable group. Theoretically the offense can lead to prison time, but in reality Kalugina will at most suffer a small fine.
Count Dankula (Markus Meechan) was convicted by a Scottish court for Holocaust jokes. He only has to pay a fine of $1,200, but some people consider him a martyr.
